No actually, the water in spent fuel pools does not contain radioactive material. The water provides shielding. You could hypothically swim in that water just dont dive and also they would never let you do that because it would contaminate the pool.

Yes, the water is not particularly radioactive. It does however contain the spent fuel rods at the bottom that are.
